Lukas Prinsloo · Platform Engineer
Strong software engineer doing platform work on production AWS serverless and multi-tenant SaaS systems. I contribute to architecture and technical design alongside experienced technical leadership, then own delivery from design through deployment, production incidents and post-mortems. I use AI daily within a written process backed by review, automated checks and accountability for what ships.
Looking for backend, platform or full-stack roles in small teams with real ownership. Full-time or contract, remote or Cape Town-area hybrid. I can work US East Coast hours.
I own delivery end to end for features and services. I contribute to architecture and technical design alongside experienced technical leadership.
I use a written agent process with review and tests. I also run local models for meeting transcription.

A multi-tenant AWS platform for building and launching branded game, quiz and survey campaigns. I worked across the frontend and platform and helped separate this product from the larger system.
How I used AI: I contributed to the technical design and migration plan. My agent harness helped me organise and check the implementation work.
A Discord-first tournament platform with a bot, React portal, Lambda services and DynamoDB. I designed the serverless flow and deployment tooling.
How I used AI: A vision model reads scoreboard screenshots. Deterministic checks flag uncertain results for human review.
A Python application for live transcription, speaker diarisation and structured meeting notes. Its audio processing runs on my computer.
How I used AI: I tested Faster-Whisper and local Gemma models, then added filters for silence hallucinations and structured summaries, decisions and action items.
Three roles and two promotions on the same Innereality production platform. Each move brought more responsibility.
Twelve years of photography and design before and alongside engineering, a Diploma in Digital Photography, a Software Engineering certificate from Stellenbosch University with HyperionDev, and CompTIA A+ and N+ foundations.
Close mentorship from a CTO with more than 26 years in software has sharpened my systems thinking. I am still building the depth that comes with time, but if I sit with a system for a bit, I can usually smell a bad setup.
